Forbes Magazine website has a review of the 2003 Impala (same category
as Malibu). Chevy relies on "fleet sales" for the majority of its Impalas.
GM sells to the obvious outlets, much as computer companies prefer to sell
"multiple" anythings to any company all-at-once rather to build up sales one
at a time. Simply put, somone had to sell "fleets" of vehicles. GM chose
to abandon the individual American to the Japanese et al .. . and produce
lackluster products. GM's also been living on its truck sales .. . which
the Japanese are targeting more and more. ..
http://www.forbes.com/2003/08/04/cz_sk_0804test_3.html "A consumer must have
true-blue Chevy blood coursing through his veins to pick the Impala over
cars like the Accord and Camry, vehicles whose strong reputations are
reflected in their terrific resale values."

anyone here think a 2.4 l malibu engine should last more than 46, 000
miles (75,000 KM). Well GM doesn't. I have a 1999 malibu that has
turned the crank bearings and done in the engine. GM won't even talk
to me. It is off warranty (just under 10,000 miles). I didn't buy it
from a dealer and that is all they will say. The customer Help line is
a joke. I was told by one woman that I was to take it to a dealer and
have them run some tests on it. They would determine the problem and
she said that if it was defective then GM would fix, if it was a
maintenance problem, I would be on my own. I have the proof that oil
changes were done by me and the previous owner. The used car salesman
who sold me the car has been talking to the GM help line, you know the
one that " May be monitored for training purposes", well they don't
have any record of us ever talking to her or anyone else. That is as
far as I can get . So much for standing behind your product, GM
Canada!!!

Ever manufacture tries to sell to fleets!! Some are just more
successful at it than others. The Japs would love to get more
cars into corporate fleet service. The Korean have a greater
share of fleets than do the Japs.

HANG IN WITH GREY DAVIS,,,,,,,

Only from the tenderloin district or Berkeley could such blather
originate.

Your buddy Davis is incompetent. What's the matter? Don't like
democracy when you're guy is the one being tossed? LOL. Look for a
record voter turnout. Check out LA Times Editorial Tuesday morning
(8-12-03). Even the Lost-to-the-Left LA Times sees the light of
running Davis out on a rail.

had his first cup of coffee and a soothing hot shower.
